In my project canvas is useless, I want to replace the canvas with a empty stub package.

1. It complains "• collector stderr output dependencies=["npm error code ELSPROBLEMS\nnpm error invalid: canvas@npm:npm-empty-stub@1.0.1 /test-electron-builder/node_modules/canvas\nnpm error"

2. It prints the "• duplicate dependency references dependencies=["@csstools/css-color-parser@3.1.0","whatwg-url@14.2.0","whatwg-encoding@3.1.1","http-proxy-agent@7.0.2","https-proxy-agent@7.0.6","saxes@6.0.0","w3c-xmlserializer@5.0.0","css-tree@3.1.0","debug@4.4.3"]", which someone has already feedback Complains about "duplicate dependency references" after upgrade to 26.8.1 #9613
